Therefore, speaking to the media during a recent training camp session, Evans was asked about his thoughts on Egbuka.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Judging from what he has seen ever since the rookie arrived in Tampa Bay, the Super Bowl LV winner called him a true professional and one who is going to have an exceptional career ahead of him.&nbsp;<\/p><p><strong>&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve seen what I&rsquo;ve expected to see from Emeka.

Unfortunately for the Bucs, Godwin missed the last ten games of the 2024 season due to an ankle dislocation, which required surgery.
